Call JavaScript to Send Email Message

How to trigger Send Email Message by calling JavaScript?

I need Send Email Message to send email triggered by JavaScript behaviors like onClick or onDblClick without insert the record.

Example; in a form, there's email and a message fields, when user double click a button; Send Email Message will send the mail and message to the input email. I want the event is triggered using JavaScript.

OR

One way to do this is to use a hidden iFrame and set the target of the form to that iframe name. Then you submit the form onclick and send the email from the action page from the form. Since it then loads into the hidden iframe there is no page refresh and it occurs based on the button click.

Thank you Ray that is a nice idea!

When you say "submit the form onclick" does it mean javascript onclick or form post triggered by input type submit?

Can I set action page current page or leave it blank?

You can create a blank page that just sends an email and use that as the action.

If you use a form input type="image, or type="submit" it will automatically submit the form. Otherwise you can use an image or div with an onclick event and call submit() for the form like: onclick="document.getElementById('formID').submit();"

It is fine.. the page will behave as if the action was set to the current page.
